Candu uses AI to help your team create in-app content faster. This article explains what data is involved, what we do to protect it, and the controls you have as an admin.

Our core commitments

  • We never send your end users' data to AI providers. Candu's AI features work with editor inputs only, things like a text prompt or a document you choose to upload.

  • Your data doesn't train AI models. We've configured our model providers with training turned off. What goes in stays yours.

  • All AI is opt-in. No AI features are active by default. You can turn them on/off at the account level, or toggle individual features independently.

  • AI calls go through Candu, not directly to OpenAI or Anthropic. All requests are made server-side by Candu. There's no direct connection between your workspace and any AI provider.

Current AI features

  • Code Chat: Connects to your GitHub repositories to help developers answer questions about your codebase using natural language.

    • It only receives the repository or repositories you select, the natural language prompt entered by the user, and the minimal code snippets needed to answer the request.

    • No end-user traits or CRM records are included.

    • Code is processed ephemerally with no long-term storage, and no embeddings or indexes are retained after the session.

    • Anthropic receives only the retrieved snippets required for inference, and does not use them for training.

    • Code Chat can be turned on/off at the account level.

  • Design Copilot: Helps editors design experiences, write and refine in-app copy.

    • It only receives what the editor actively provides: their text prompt, and any file they choose to attach (like a screenshot or a help article).

    • No user traits or CRM data are included.

    • Outputs are saved in Candu like any other content.

    • Design Copilot can be turned on/off at the account level.

  • Guide creation from public sources: Helps editors generate guides from public materials, like a help center article or documentation page.

    • The editor provides a public URL or uploads a document themselves, along with any selector hints they choose to approve.

    • No user records or internal data are sent.

    • Outputs are saved in Candu like any other content.

    • Guide creation from public sources can be turned on/off at the account level.

🚧 Candu's AI features are currently in beta. Features may change as we continue to develop them. Send feedback or questions to [email protected].
